[Motorola Droid RAZR] onemotodroid:
Respectively, I disagree.

As you can remember from the Droid X2 we had no development for at least 2 / 3 months.

The Razr is winning to many best of 2011 awards for DEV to leave alone. The Razr will get ROMs. Give it a little more time.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
Unfortunately (referring to the situational truth) I have to agree

after reading this you made me want to check mines. I just did and my BT works fine on the latest update to. 33. I pushed files from my Atrix4g to my Prime through BT. everything transferred fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aurenidus:
Should I bother trying a factory reset to fix this or should I just wait for ICS and see if that fixes it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfortier777:
No harm in trying.

I was running into a lot of odd behavior on mine after I got it and a factory reset seemed to do the trick.

Worst case scenario you're out 20 minutes of your day while you wait for your apps to resync.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aurenidus:
I happen to have the gamestop version, so I would lose the preinstalled games. Is there any way to save them without root and titanium backup?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pictureaday:
Try the app that is installed called App Backup. I did a backup of my stuff yesterday and it looks as though it backs up everything!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aurenidus:
Well, the factory reset fixed bluetooth, but in the process I lost a video of my friend singing a spice girls song that we were going to play at his wedding, so a big F you goes to Asus for this one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdbc:
I'm looking to get a magazine subscription. It would optimally have a lot of talk about technology, primarily computers, and be very expansive on its subjects. I'm looking for something that's not just a bunch of product reviews, but instead gets into the nitty gritty of things like 'How does 4G work?' or 'What is the history behind the UNIX operating system?', and still tries to stay interesting.

I've looked at PC World, and that's just an idiot's guide to Windows. MaximumPC is slightly better, but still mostly just reviews. I would even be willing to subscribe to a journal I suppose, if it wasn't to the technical extreme. Online reads are fine too, as long as they're not your typical review-laden blog like engadget and such. A magazine-like layout for an online magazine would be beneficial as well.

Any recommendations or ideas? I'm very open to suggestions. Thanks.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nontrivial:
I have an 3G HTC Flyer coming in the mail, but I am trying to decide if I should just S-OFF it or flash a new ROM when it gets here. I flashed my G1 a while back, so I am leaning toward flashing a custom ROM with the Flyer. My goal is to be able to at least try and use the Flyer as my phone to see if it is a viable option. My questions are:

* Is it possible to S-OFF the Flyer after I do the stock HC OTA update?

* Is it possible to flash a custom HC ROM after I do the stock HC OTA update?

* Is phone support available with the stock or custom HC ROM?

* Is there a compelling reason to use a custom HC ROM vs the stock HC ROM?

* Is the special pen support still available after flashing a custom HC ROM?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nontrivial:
Got some answers

I really did do some research before posting, but apparently not enough. I have since found some answers, though.

* Is it possible to S-OFF the Flyer after I do the stock HC OTA update?

Apparently still too early to say.

* Is it possible to flash a custom HC ROM after I do the stock HC OTA update?

Apparently still too early to say.

* Is phone support available with the stock or custom HC ROM?

Some people report yes, some no.

* Is there a compelling reason to use a custom HC ROM vs the stock HC ROM?

Potential phone support, potential speed improvements.

* Is the special pen support still available after flashing a custom HC ROM?

Yes.

So at least as long as I want to have phone support on the Flyer, at least until there is an ICS option it may be best to stick with S-OFF GB. Otherwise it probably makes sense to do the custom HC upgrade.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PZwingy:
That would make navigation so much easier. Hence making it easier to install custom ROM's.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GazaIan:
I don't know if i would want that for Clockwork as it looks (though, a stock Honeycomb ICS bar for the time being would be cool, with time and battery)... But TWRP and 4EXT Recovery Touch both have touchscreen versions and they're pretty damned good too, they trump any other Recovery. In fact I'm using 4EXT Touch on my myTouch 4G.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] twigster:
Also using 4ext on my wifes HTC desire. Its really good.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 1337GameDev:
Having a touch based version would introduce numerous mistakes, but i would probably enjoy it if they made confirmation dialogues. Making it similar to layout as AndroZip or astro file manager would be amazing. I am not sure if they can do this as they don't have access to these UI components, but maybe they will find a way.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PZwingy:
It could have somemistakes, but it would make navigation through CWM a lot easier. The UI would have to change though to be more accustomed to touch. The simplest thing to do is to space out the text and add an extra confirm or cancel to avoid accidental mishaps.

Hey everybody.

I've tried to update my Xperia Play R800a to 2.3.4 using Flashtools, as my country hasn't received this update yet.

After following all the steps it said this:

"04/000/2012 23:00:38 - ERROR - Error flashing. Aborted

04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - Now unplug the device and power it on

04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - Then go to application settings

04/000/2012 23:00:38 - INFO - turn on Unknown Sources and Debugging"

But I had already turned on both options, and it doesn't turn on anymore.

What should I do?

Thank you all!

I was wondering if anyone have ever used the LCD Density changer application in the Android Market. If so, which would be the best way to correct the issues with the dialer being out of place after the density change. I prefer having smaller text on the screen that is why I've opt to changing the density to 200 and below in the settings. I will post a screenshot of the issue I am having after the density change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
The problem is if you alter it at all. When you get on the market it will say device not compatible for 90 percent of the apps. And wont let you download them. Youll have to change it back when you want to download apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spiritcrusher33:
I also noticed my text werent coming through when my density was changed. After i rebooted they came in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Above&Beyond™:
Which is the best way to get smaller text within the whole ui? I used spare parts + to make the text smaller but I'd prefer the text size to a bit smaller throught the ui.

UPDATE: So I found a way around the incompatible app situation.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Charles::
Make sure you go into ADW and backup all your settings. Sometimes, when ADW releases a newer version, it will revert back to default settings, and it's a pain to get everything back the way you like it...unless you've backed up and can simply restore.

So are there any updates as to programs that don't trigger the Market problems? Kind of a hassle to go back to normal settings, reboot and update/install programs then set everything back again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raptor1956:
Now that I've had the GN for a couple weeks and am back on Verizon I have some observations about cell coverage. I've had cell phones since 1995 and for most of that time (1995-2008) I was on Verizon. I traveled a good bit so having a carrier with good nation wide coverage was important.

But that was before I had a smart phone and in 2008 I got my first smart phone, the iPhone 3G. Switching to the iPhone meant dropping Verizon and going with ATT -- something I wasn't happy about due to past issues I had with ATT. When I first got the iPhone 3G service was still kind of new and the talk was that you had to turn 3G off to get good battery life out of the iPhone. Within a few months the 3G coverage by ATT was pretty good and I didn't worry about battery life all that much

Move into 2010 and I switched the iPhone for an HTC Evo 4G and, of course, that meant dropping ATT in favor of Sprint. The 4G (WiMax) coverage that Sprint provided was almost nonexistent in Jun 2008 but Sprint was promising a rapid roll out of WiMax so I waited. Turns out that in the 15 months I had the Evo Sprint (Clear) did a sh*ty job of deploying Wimax and as my job puts me on the road 85% of the time I was able to judge there coverage in many parts of the country.

OK, so on 12/23/2011 I picked up the GN and am now on Verizon again. In that time I've been in Salt Lake City, Atlanta and Albany NY and I've had 4G LTE coverage everywhere I've been. SLC got WiMax at the end of Jun 2010 and the WiMax coverage was spotty more than 15 months later. I wasn't able to find a place in the greater SLC are that I couldn't get LTE...

As I said I travel a lot and am at present working at a FAB in Malta NY, about 25 miles north of Albany in a tiny little berg that could pass for Mayberry. My Evo had terrible coverage here with seldom more than a single bar and often times no coverage at all -- you know, the kind of coverage where you step outside to see if that helps. But, in this tiny little berg my GN is getting 5 bars of LTE with over 17Mbps -- consistent. I'm even getting 5 bars inside the FAB.

So, my take on this is that... Sprint has crumby service or no service whereas ATT and Verizon have good coverage. Verizon started rolling out 4G about 6 months after Sprint started rolling out 4G but in less time Verizon has long since passed Sprint by.

Now don't get me wrong, there are thing about the the way Verizon and ATT do business that pisses me off and on paper they cost more but they are light years better than Sprint.

In the time since I've had smart phones I've traveled to: California (all over), Virginia (all over), North Carolina, Texas (Dallas/Richardson mostly), Idaho (Boise), New York (all over), Utah (all over), Nevada, and many other places so I think I can say with some experience that my coverage analysis is based on more than one area. I could never get 4G on my Evo at ANY airport at any time -- I've been able to get LTE at EVERY airport so far!

Brian
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
I could have sworn I read something somewhere about Sprint or ATT starting to roll out LTE, I guess it's the future standard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
Sprint WiMax runs at 2.5GHz which is really really crappy spectrum. There's plenty of capacity per MHz but it attenuates really quickly and has terrible in-building penetration. Verizon's 700MHz LTE spectrum attenuates much more slowly and penetrates walls much better. To cover the same area, Sprint has to deploy 3x-5x as many cell sites as Verizon.

Sprint has announced it will start rolling out LTE in 2012. AT&T is already rolling out LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raptor1956:
Yep, WiMax drops off more significantly inside due to the spectrum. Where I live in SLC the Sprint tower closest to me is just over a mile away and inside my apartment it's maybe one bar and often no bars of WiMax and even outside it seldom rises above one bar. That WiMax may need 2X or more the towers to provide the same coverage is only half the problem -- the other half is that Sprint seems to have less than half as many towers!

I think ATT will be relatively aggressive in rolling out LTE, but Sprint, well, I wouldn't hold my breath!

Brian
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] teamgreen02:
Verizon has done a great job of not only getting LTE in many markets, but also completely saturating that market and surrounding areas. I used to work in a suburb just outside of Minneapolis. WiMax was nonexistent at my work. I didn't even bother connecting to wimax most of the time because it would connect to one tower and drop before it picked up the next tower. With Verizon I have yet to leave 4g until I'm surrounded by corn fields. At my old employer the only one with 4g service was Verizon. We had wifi but only a T1 pipe to share with the entire office. Things got a little slow when everyone is streaming Pandora.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I noticed this as well. When Verizon rolled out LTE in Chicago, they rolled it out as far as my school in Kenosha, Wisconsin which is at least 50 miles away from Chicago. A pleasant surprise.
